T-Shirts: 1975

If you had to pick two, which would they be? Me,  I’d go for the Vantastic Dodge and Pinball Wizard of course because I sure can play a mean steel ball. Don’t forget to join our new facebook group. Get the expanded digital edition of Rack Toys here.

Toy-Ventures: Kung Fu Stuff!

Note: Warner Brothers doesn’t like that i used the show intro in the video and has blocked it on mobile devices. Sorry. Instead of looking at a single toy, I thought I’d share my collection of merchandise from the 1970s tv classic “Kung Fu”. There wasn’t a ton of merchandise for the show but there […]
